The cool weather in Tagaytay only serves to heighten the enjoyment of sipping that perfectly-brewed cup of coffee. It comes as no surprise that there are a lot of cafés, especially in Tagaytay Ridge. Lula Café in Tagaytay City is the latest addition and it aims to offer more than just a fine cup of coffee, but also a wide selection of delectable food offerings as well.
Menu items include Ceviche of the Day. Poutine with steak cut fitters, smoked bacon, and seared mushrooms for starters; an array of pizza and sandwiches; and the freshest and exciting salads. Its All-Day Breakfast menu includes Filipino and international classics such as Tender Beef Tapa, Eggs Benedict, Smoked Salmon Hash, and French Toast Brioche.
The mains, meanwhile, are rich selection of dishes such as Pan Roasted Salmon Fillet with Squid Ink Black Rice Risotto; Spiced Freshwater Shrimps with Corn and Adlai; U.S. Beef Tenderloin with Mushroom and Bleu Cheese, Potato Gratin, and Peppercorn House; Herb Roasted Chicken with Walnut Mushroom Pilaf; and Baked Fish in Pomodoro Sauce and Spaghetti Aglio Olio, and Vegetarian Lasagna, among others.
For dessert, Lula Café highlights the rich flavors of the country with its Lula Cheesecake, Calamansi Pie, Kalabasa Cake, Davao Chocolate Cake, and Suman, Mangga, Kasuy dish.
Lula Café — a joint-venture development between Don Tim Development Corporation (DTDC) and the group behind Burrow Café, is a mountain-view café establishment inside the village clubhouse of Monte Vista Subdivision along the Calamba-Tagaytay Road. The village–built in the 1990s, the first in Tagaytay–is a destination in itself, thanks to the spectacular view its location offers. This makes Lula Café a go-to destination in the city, as it allows guests to enjoy the calm and fresh breeze that Tagaytay offers while providing a unique and exclusive view of the city’s lush greeneries, just across the café.
According to co-owner Andie Gamboa, the name of Lula Café is inspired by the view it would offer guests–something she describes as exhilarating or, in Filipino, “nakaka-lula.”
With this, Lula Café aims to be a go-to destination in Tagaytay known for its homey and welcoming vibe that guests would return to over and over again, for its delicious and hearty dishes, and for its extraordinary close-to-nature ambiance.
